Q-Edge Information

The 2028 NCSC migration deadline is closer than it looks. UK financial institutions are running cryptographic infrastructure that will be broken by quantum computers. TLS-encrypted client data recorded today can be harvested and decrypted once quantum compute matures. Certificate authorities and PKI hierarchies built on RSA and ECC will fail when a cryptographically relevant quantum computer arrives. Most firms have not yet scoped their exposure. Q-Edge is a specialist post-quantum cryptography consultancy built exclusively for UK financial services. We help institutions map their cryptographic risk, align with NCSC migration guidance, and build a realistic plan before regulators start asking the questions. We work with wealth managers, boutique investment banks, fintech lenders, and credit unions, typically 20 to 500 employees, that need expert PQC advisory without the Big 4 price tag or the six-month sales cycle. Our starting point is a Quantum Readiness Assessment: a fixed-scope, fixed-price review covering TLS configuration, key management, PKI scope, vendor dependencies, and HNDL exposure. Written report. Top 3 priority actions. Delivered in days. For firms that need more, we offer full cryptographic audits, Cryptography Bill of Materials (CBOM) generation, and ongoing advisory retainers aligned to NIST standards and NCSC timelines. IBM-certified. edX UMBC IS4551 in progress. NCSC ACSC application forthcoming. Start with our free 6-question Quantum Readiness Snapshot: q-edge.co.uk/quantum-readiness-snapshot
